YORKTOWN, N.Y. ‒ A 19-year-old Yorktown resident was arrested Thursday morning and charged with petty larceny in connection with the Sept. 21 theft of beer from a local gas station, police said.

Brandon Gladman is accused of distracting a clerk at the Shell station in Shrub Oak while a friend walked out with two cases of Budweiser valued at $25.98, according to the report.

Police were unable to locate Gladman, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Gladman was arrested Thursday at around 4:45 a.m. when a car in which he was a passenger was pulled over for an unrelated incident.

Police responded to the store around 9:25 p.m. on a report of a shoplifter in custody. Whalen was accused of leaving the store without paying for two bottles of cologne and a bottle of shoe polish. The items were valued at $74.99.

Whalen was processed at Yorktown Justice Court and released without bail. He is scheduled to return to court Nov. 20 at 6 p.m.
